MESA, Ariz. — Family and friends remembered an Army soldier who was killed in Iraq as a sharp, thoughtful man of few words who was a wiz at Scrabble.
A roadside bomb killed Sgt. Caleb Christopher, 25, on June 3. His memorial service was held June 12 in Gilbert.
“It’s been rough,” said his father, Edward Christopher. “It’ll be a while before all this sinks in.”
His sister-in-law, Jenny Christopher, said Caleb Christopher had been planning to go on vacation in Florida with his fiancee, Rebecca Cadro, who had already packed her bags.
At the service, all Cadro could do is cry as she stared at the casket.
